At the beginning of the offseason, the Bears and Packers were ignored on the NFL betting odds future market. And there was plenty of good reason for the lack of enthusiasm by gamblers. Green Bay was beginning the post-Aaron Rodgers era. And the Bears have shown nothing but red ink for several years. However, Chicago and Green Bay proved to be two of the most improved teams in the NFL. Jordan Love is the answer for Green Bay at QB. In comparison, Justin Fields is making tremendous late-season strides for the resurgent Bears.
